That statement was not friendly at all. Did she say she was being forced to do so with kindness? Yu Wenying frowned.
Huo Xi did not take care of her emotions.
He just said: "I heard that when the old Marquis first took charge of Yunnan, your family contributed money and effort and gave him a lot of help. The old Marquis also told several of his sons to keep the kindness of the Yu family in mind.
. Later, he asked Mu Yan’s heir to marry your aunt, Mrs. Yu.”
Yu Wenying did not expect that she, an outsider, would know something like this that only two people in the family knew.
Who told her?
"Miss Zhang, what you said is serious. The Mu and Yu families have relied on each other over the years. It's not like you said, it was my Yu family who forced me to do so. It's not that I can't get married. Marriage between children has been a matter of since ancient times.
, pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmaker, this is a decision made by Mu Yu and his parents together. And I came to the capital, and I didn’t think about going back. "
No matter she can't go back, her family won't let her go back.
The Mu family is the local king of Yunnan, in charge of the military, government and people's livelihood of the province. It is an honor for the Yu family to have a relationship with the Mu family.
Back then, my aunt was able to marry the Marquis, and the whole family celebrated. But my uncle died a little early. Now my aunt is in the eunuch hall for repairs, and I can't tell him.
The family also wanted to tell their daughter to Master Wang, but Mrs. Jun did not choose their family later.
Now that we finally have such an opportunity to get married with the Mu family, how could our family let it go?
Even if she wanted to go back to Yunnan, her family would not let her go back.
Yu Wenying knew her situation very well. She didn't know anyone in the capital, and the only one she could rely on was the Mu Mansion. If the Mu Mansion sent her back...
She didn't dare think about what was waiting for her.
Maybe she will be sent to do some Qing repairs with her aunt.
Yu Wenying shuddered. No, she couldn't end up like that.
"Miss Zhang, although my status is lower than yours, I have heard some things about you. I heard that you had discussed marriage with other families? Moreover, your mother died young and lived outside for ten years... even if you are older
The young master is interested in the girl, but the elders of the Mu family are afraid that they will look down on Miss Zhang."
"So, what do you want to say to me?"
"Don't get me wrong, Miss Zhang. I don't mean anything else. I just think that Miss Zhang has a noble status, so why should she humiliate herself? There are probably many people in the capital who want to hire girls. But I have no choice."
"So, do I have to give way to you?"
"I will remember Miss Zhang's kindness. If you need it in the future, I will never say goodbye."
Huo Xi smiled: "You have heard my story, and you also know that I endured it for ten years and finally returned to the Duke's mansion. As long as I want to do something, I will not let it go easily. Unless I don't want it myself."
"Miss Zhang, why do you have to talk so eloquently? Children can never make the decision on their own when it comes to marriage."
"Of course you have to make your own decisions about your own marriage." Huo Xi said firmly.
"We live by ourselves, not with our elders and parents. Of course, we have to live according to our own wishes. Emotional matters are about your own free will and we can't force it. If he chooses you, I won't need anyone to send him away, I will leave by myself.
"
Yu Wenying looked at her blankly.
Huo Xi didn't want to talk to her anymore.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by someone: "Miss Zhang, my wife heard that you were coming and wanted to invite you to talk in her yard."
Huo Xi nodded and left with the visitor.
Yu Wenying watched her leave blankly, feeling that things were getting a little tricky.
The eldest young master doesn't know whether he will only follow his own wishes or whether he will obey the family's arrangements.
Mrs. Cheng didn't know Huo Xilai came to the house until Hubo gave her two boxes of gifts.
When he saw Huo Xi, he held her tight and said, "You are so polite, kid. Why don't you give me a gift when you come to my house as a guest? This is because you are afraid that your aunt won't give you tea, and you bring your own tea money."
He pulled her affectionately and asked Huo Xi to sit next to him.
The more I looked at her, the more I liked it. With a smile on her face, she was so happy that she didn’t know what to say.
Mrs. Yan was also in Mrs. Cheng's courtyard and was very happy to see Huo Xi.
"Look at your aunt, she is smiling so hard that she can't even close her mouth. If it weren't for the fear that your father would be unhappy, she would have kept you living in our house."
Mrs. Cheng also laughed: "After so many years, I have met such a child who likes me, and I am still not happy."
"Yes, why aren't you? Just be happy," Mrs. Yan teased her.
After saying that, he looked at Huo Xi and saw that after hearing such explicit words, she didn't feel any shyness or shyness at all, and she looked so open and generous, which made her even more like it.
"My monkey grandson talks about his sister Xi every day. He wants to go to the British government house every day to feed his sister Xi and live in the British government house. I went to pick him up a few days ago and refused to come back."
Mrs. Yan now only has one grandson, Mu Jie, not to mention male grandsons, not even a granddaughter. Mu Jie looks like he has eyes.
Now seeing him healthy, lively and smart makes me happier than anything else.
What Yu Wenying, who is that? Like her grandchildren, she hopes to marry the man in front of her as soon as possible.
"Lian'er sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that he only recognizes you and doesn't want anyone else. He has an idea, and I'm very happy about it." Mrs. Cheng saw that Mrs. Cheng called her to the house today, and was afraid that she would
After thinking about it, I quickly said something.
"You're not afraid of scaring people away, look at what you said." Mrs. Yan glared at Mr. Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng also quickly looked at Huo Xi and became even more happy when she saw that she was not blushing with embarrassment like other girls.
Pulling her back: "We don't want to imitate those coy girls. Of course we have to be happy with our own marriage. There are so many resentful couples in this world, and it's because they married blindly and dumbly that they didn't live well."
Mrs. Cheng thought about her marriage and was silent.
"What Madam said is that if you don't worry about your own marriage, who can you expect? You should live your own life, not watch other people's excitement. I was saved by him when I was a child, and later I saved his life. Let's repay each other's kindness in the future.
.”
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Yan both laughed.
"Okay, okay, then you should repay each other's kindness. It seems that Yue Lao has connected you together a long time ago, and this cannot be torn apart."
After talking to Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Yan for a long time, Huo Xi left the Mu Mansion.
After leaving Mu's Mansion, I wasn't in a hurry to go back, so I planned to go to the shop to have a look.
Passing by a shop, I saw a familiar figure walking around among several shops, not knowing what to do.
He got off the carriage.
"Why is this box so expensive!" What a broken box, it's as big as a palm, and costs fifty taels of silver! Why don't you grab it!
"Hey, young master, do you think this is an ordinary box? This is a box from Nanyang, we don't have it here. This is a box carved from ivory. Look how detailed the carving is. We don't have ivory here.
I heard that an elephant is as big as a house and can crush a person if it steps on it. This was pulled from its mouth, how can it not be precious?"
"No matter how precious it is, it's only as big as a palm, and it costs fifty taels. Why don't you go and grab it!"
"Hey, young master, these foreign things have to float on the sea for several years before they reach our country. Isn't it expensive? There are many people snatching them. If you don't like it, young master, you can look at cheap wooden boxes. We also have cheap ones.
of."
"What is a wooden box? It's worth recommending to me! Fifty taels is fifty taels!" He said and started to take out the money.
